​After receiving and testing many CRKT knives we've found an unfortunate common theme of poor construction and workmanship. The excellent designs of the knives themselves only serve to make their poor quality construction all the more disheartening. Pocket clips broke on one carry, blades dulled after one use, and some of the folding knives began to rust shut in as little as a week. We did not complete a full review on any of our CRKT blades because none of them could last long enough. All of the CRKT knives you see here have been deemed not safe for use and discarded. It is extremely dangerous to carry and use a dull, or easily dulled or broken, poor quality knife. Fit and finish was fair, the coatings wore and/or corroded much to easily, and the heat treating on the blade steel was terrible. The grinds were poor. Sharpness was average at best. We have had CRKT blades in the past that have performed well, but it seems production quality has taken a major hit in recent years... For these reasons we have dropped CRKT knives from our gear review program.
